    Summary

    The gold cuff was a steady, unwelcome clasp around his wrist, biting into the skin every time he moved. Its presence was unmistakable, as was its implication. For months, Damen had been a slave in Vere.

    He did not remember it.

    Summary

    Feng Xin really wasn’t meant to be a god.

    It was a thought he’d had often, back when he was helping Dianxia alongside Mu Qing during the crown prince’s first ascension, and it was even more obvious now that he had ascended by his own merits. He was fucking terrible at navigating the bureaucracy and politics of it all, and honestly had no desire to get any better at it.

    Did he just ascend at a bad time, or was getting started as a new god this confusing for everyone?

    Feng Xin suffers through the paperwork of becoming a new god — but with the help of a mysterious benefactor, it goes more smoothly than expected.

    Summary

    Mu Qing’s jaw clenches, like he’s trying to hold back words. But they burst out anyway. “How did you find out?”

    “What?” Feng Xin furrows his brows. “How did I find out what?”

    “How did you find out,” Mu Qing repeats in lieu of an actual answer, saber moving a centimeter closer to Feng Xin’s throat. “How did you find out, Feng Xin?"

    Sure, he could ask Felix for terms. If he wanted. And asking would have its own set of consequences and potential complications—what if Felix doesn’t want more than a bit of fun? Or stress-relief, or convenience, whatever this is. What if it spoils it, to bring it into the light and give it a proper name?

    Sylvain does his very best not to ask Felix “So, what are we?”

    Summary

    It started with Ling Wen, of all people.

    He had been on her palace researching about a specific type of ghost that he had been receiving prayers about, when he noticed her looking.

    Like, really looking.

    And then Pei Ming joined her. They exchanged some words, and then they were both just like. Staring at him.

    Feng Xin didn’t think he wanted to know what the fuck was going on there, so he grabbed the scrolls and walked out. Passing them, though, he thought he heard them saying something like—

    “Damn, where did you stop?”

    “One hundred and seventy eight.”

    “Shit, I only got to thirty two!”

    … what the fuck was going on?

    Summary

    Xie Lian hadn’t given up. “It’s alright, though! We’ll just have to find something else for you to be worshipped for!”

    Mu Qing looked at Xie Lian quizzically. “Something else?”

    “Just like how Feng Xin became the God of Pleasure by a misunderstanding, you could also find a secondary domain of worship! Something that ghosts need or want...”

    “Like what?”

    Xie Lian cleared his throat lightly before he suggested, “How about becoming a God of Style?”

    After losing one too many spars, Mu Qing finds out that—due to new worshippers of Ju Yang in Ghost City—Feng Xin's divine power had become ever-so-slightly stronger than Mu Qing's. Mu Qing's solution? Build a following in Ghost City, too: bigger and better than Feng Xin's. The issue? Ghosts don't care for martial arts or war at all! Mu Qing would have to find something else to be worshipped for.

    Thus begins Mu Qing's life as Xuan Zhen: the God of Beauty.

    Feng Xin thinks he might die.

    Summary

    “Congratulations. I think that might be the stupidest idea you’ve ever had.” Mu Qing sounds… pissed off, yeah, but not as pissed off as Feng Xin thought he would be. Mostly, he sounds wary. “You want to—to kiss me again?”

    Yes. More than anything.

    Out loud, Feng Xin says, “I just don’t want you holding a bad kiss over my head for the rest of eternity. Are you gonna let me make this up to you or are you gonna be a little bitch about it?”

    --

    Feng Xin accidentally steals Mu Qing’s first kiss. Naturally, the only logical solution is to give him another one. And another. And another. And another. And—

    Summary

    “...I thought the nightmares stopped,” Phoenix says after a few minutes of silence. Just his presence being close by helps Miles feel less isolated. The room isn’t that big, especially compared to his own back in Frankfurt, but he feels small in it.

    “They did,” Miles tells him, his voice sandpaper. “They stopped.”

    “Sure doesn’t seem like it.” Phoenix nudges him with his shoulder. “...Wanna talk about it?”

    He does. He’s just not sure how to get started.

    --

    In which some assumptions are made, and then promptly demolished.

    Summary

    Ryuunosuke didn't expect to personally reap many benefits as a result of his role in helping to solve the case at the end of Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2, but he couldn't deny that he was enjoying the tentative friendship that he and Van Zieks were forming in the wake of its conclusion. In an effort to recover from his undue prejudice against the Japanese, Van Zieks asks Ryuunosuke if he would mind teaching him more about his homeland, starting with an aspect that already appeals to him: Japanese wine. Ryuunosuke proposes that they try making some together. Over the course of the five month fermentation period, the two of them get to know each other better on a personal level and come to realize that they might be more compatible than they realized.

    Because this is Elliott. He is gentle and generous and theirs, and he holds their wind-shattered heart in his rough, careful hands, and they love him, oh Gods, how they love him. The Wild may not understand this, its love strict and severe and conditional, but that does not matter. It does not need to understand.

    Summary

    “--iott. Elliott! Wake up, please wake up, please, please, oh gods, oh no…”

    The strangled voice rips Elliott out of his dream (a very pleasant one, by the way, there was a beach involved and cocktails and he had to mix exactly none of them because it was leisure time), but he has no chance to complain about it before the distress registers, and the hands, clammy and cold and trembling, one jammed under his jaw and the other touching his face, his neck, his chest in panicked, urgent movements.

    “Hound?” he blurts out, a random jumble of sounds, a residue of a name he says so often that it is permanently on the edge of his throat. “S’wrong?”

    “My mom - she, she’s unwell, been unwell for a while, and she’s getting…” Elliott scratches at his beard in a violent motion, runs a hand over his mouth as if to keep the words from coming. “There’s a treatment. Expre-- expr-- testing phase, but the data looks solid. It might help, might… Anyway, it’s - creepily expensive. No point talking about it unless I win, so I…” He meets Bloodhound's eyes here, at last, haunted and desperate. “I gotta win, Hound. Whatever it takes. I need this money, and I need it as soon as possible. It can’t wait.”

    (At the intersection of grief and honour and what it means to do the right thing, Bloodhound faces a choice.)
